Views navigation | Server | Cloud |
|
Draft and published views Users can browse the work-in-progress version or the last approved version of a page |

In cloud, the workflow does not differentiate user access between the work-in-progress versions and the last approved version of the page. User permissions for a page are managed by using the Confluence user permissions. | In both server and cloud, permission management can be implemented using a Comala Document Management workflow and the Comala Publishing app to publish approved pages to a public space. | |
